History

In March 1916, the Footscray Technical School began teaching at what is now Victoria University's Footscray Nicholson campus. In July 1958, the school was renamed "Footscray Technical College" in line with Education Department reforms to technical schools at that time. [1] On 25 September 1968, it was renamed "Footscray Institute of Technology" (FIT). [2]

On 1 July 1972, the secondary education part of the institute was separated and named "Footscray Secondary Technical School". It continued to operate on the Nicholson St site. [3] However, its council was not established until early 1975, a new site (on Ballarat Rd) was not acquired until 1975 and was not ready for occupation until May 1980. Thus during this period it remained closely linked to the institute.

The tertiary component is known as "Footscray City Films".
